240-Robert (1979/ 1981) - this American TV action series, about an emergency services team in Los Angeles, co-starred
Joanna Cassidy (who learned to fly during this show) as the county sheriff's helicopter pilot,
Deputy Morgan Wainwright, flying a Hughes 500C (396HS). The show also featured a Sikorsky S-58 'Choctaw' as another sheriff's department helicopter.
The first season comprised 13 episodes, including a 90-minute pilot. Only three episodes for a second series were produced in 1981, and the revised
cast included Pamela Hensley as the new chopper pilot, Deputy Sandy Harper. The regular stunt pilot on this TV series was Charles 'Chuck' Tamburro.
